I am interested in getting some douglas red label front wheels for my fourtrax. I want to get them offset so my front end will be wider. How many inches wider can I get the front end with offset wheels.

 

The typical offset for Douglas Rims are 2-1. Which means 2 inches facing the outside, 1 inch facing the inside. If this is the only reason your getting new rims, take your old ones and turn them around, you get the same effect. This only works on certain machines so you need to list what machine you have. If you turn your front rims around, you may need to remove your valve stem and drill a new hole for it so it doesn't hit your brake caliper.

 

Depending on the quad they have a 2+3, which is 2" in and 3" out.

I would highly recommend getting either the reinforcing rings on the outside or the new rounded lip rims.. And definately stay away form ITP rims, I have never had good luck with them..

 

My front wheels are Douglas and they're 6 inch wide wheels. They are offset 2 inches inside, 4 inches outside. The wheels on my wife's ride are 6 inch wide, 3 inches each side. I like these better. The 4inch offset causes a lot of bump steer and you really have to pay attention to it. The wheels on my wife's ride give some extra width without the bump steer. Stock wheels are 5 inch wide, 3 inch inside, 2 inch outside.

 

How many inches wider will it make my 250r.
